"What's wrong?"

Oscar was embarrassed and grabbed her.

"Oh, Oscar..."

Oscar supported her, as she almost collapsed as her legs became weak.

Lelia held onto his arms tightly as if she were in his arms.

"Hey, can you see her?" Lelia asked in a trembling voice. Oscar looked at the person Lelia pointed to.

"...She looks a lot like me, right? Right? My eyes are not weird, right?

"......"

"She looks so much like my mom's portrait in the Imperial Castle, right?"

At that moment, she had a ridiculous illusion that it might be her mother.

But looking at that face, anyone would have thought so.

In the meantime, the woman knelt down on her knees and one of the priests began to recite her sins in detail in front of them.

Standing next to him, the knights were standing in a solid line, and one was about to wrap the rope around the sinner's neck.

People flocked to the scene as if they were familiar with these execution ceremonies and began to make noise.

"She studied alchemy as a priest?"

"It was said that she changed her appearance with alchemy and seduced her fellow priest... ."

"Tsk tsk. Only because that priest who worships God is so badly behaved..."

As Lelia's eyes darkened, she broke out in a cold sweat. Right now, all she could think of was that she had to save her somehow.

Whether she was Lelia's mother or not.

"But..."

She couldn't think of a way to deal with this situation using her Alchemy tricks.

"Oscar."

The safest and surest way was to use Oscar's ability.

Lelia looked up at Oscar.

"......"

"Can you save that person?"

Oscar's forehead wrinkled from her tone as if she were asking for a favor.

"Me? Why?"

"...That person might be my mom."

"So, why should I?"

"......"

"Why should I do you a favor?"

Oscar asked in a cold voice. Lelia couldn't say anything.

Oscar has been this cold since he kidnapped her.

She wasn't thinking about her pride, and urgently asked for help, yet a firm rejection came back. She wanted to solve it on her own somehow, but it was too much. However, she was not confident in persuading Oscar, who had kidnapped her recklessly. This situation was a little unfair and cruel , and she was emotional. Perhaps that's why Lelia moved her lips without realizing it.

"Y- you said you were going to make me the empress. You said you'd be my husband, but you can't do this?"

"......"

Her impulsive words were shameless enough to heat up her face for a moment.

She couldn't believe she said that when she had begged him to send her back to Superion's territory...

She could imagine how pathetic and shameless she must look in Oscar's eyes.

Nevertheless, Oscar looked down at her silently with a cold gaze.
